Revision for the fundament of life
Organelle for STORAGE of WATER (and some food & waste). It is much bigger in a plant cell, and when empty it causes a plant to droop/wilt.
Vacuole
The part of the cell that CONTROLS/directs all cell activities, such as cell REPRODUCTION (because it has DNA:the recipe for making a cell). Brain/boss of the cell.
Nucleus
These organelles use oxygen to turn glucose sugar into ATP that the cell uses for ENERGY. Then it releases carbon dioxide waste gas. (cellular respiration) Lungs of the cell.
Mitochondria
A MITOCHONDRION absorbs this gas and uses this gas to (perform cellular respiration) release energy from food..
Oxygen
This organelle contains acid/enzymes that break down or digests food/nutrients, and old cell parts to be recycled into new cell parts. Not often found in plant cells.
Lysosome
The hard protective outer part of a plant cell that gives the cell it's flat-sided shape, and is made of rigid cellulose fibers.
Cell Wall
Semi-permeable (porous/tiny holes) layer that both plant and animal cells have, that allows good stuff like oxygen and food into the cell while letting out waste. In a plant, it lies just inside of the cell wall.
Cell Membrane
Cells reproduce by making copies of themselves and then splitting into 2 cells. This is where all cells come from.
Pre-existing Cells
How do all living things get ENERGY? (chemical energy)
Food
All cells are all made of similar materials, such as this ELEMENT. Organic molecules (protein, fat/lipids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates) mostly contain this.
Carbon
_______, tissues, organ, organ system, organism. It is the simplest most basic unit of living things. All living things are made of these.
Cells
Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, ______. (A living thing.)
Organism
English scientist who first called them "cells" (while looking at dead cork plant under the microscope) in 1665.
Robert Hooke
Jellylike watery gel that fills the cell. Organelles float in this fluid/liquid.
Cytoplasm
The pressure of full vacuoles pushing outward, so plants stand up. Empty vacuoles cause wilting/drooping due to not enough of this kind of pressure.
Turgor Pressure
Cell parts that perform a function such as lysosomes, vacuoles, mitochondria, and nuclei.
Organelles
Chloroplasts, call wall and a large central vacuole
ONLY in plant cells
Part, how something is built, what it is made of
Structure
Job, what something does.
Function
Found inside the nucleus and produces rRNA
Nucleolus
System of internal membranes within the cytoplasm. Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes. functions in transport of substances such as proteins within the cytoplasm
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
An endomembrane system where lipids are synthesized, calcium levels are regulated, and toxic substances are broken down.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Makes proteins
Ribosomes
A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell
Golgi apparatus
Located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division
Centrioles
Hairlike projections that extend from the plasma membrane and are used for locomotion
Cilia
whiplike tails found in one-celled organisms to aid in movement
Flagellum
A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Eukaryote
A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
Prokaryote
organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
Chloroplast
network of protein filaments within some cells that helps the cell maintain its shape and is involved in many forms of cell movement
Cytoskeleton
All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.
Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
